I related to Avery on so many levels it was like reading a book of my life if I fell in love with a camp staff member who played guitar and is the perfect compliment to my personality traits.
Where is my Brooks? WHY DONT I HAVE A BROOKS?!?!?
Anyways - I’ll be scrolling Amazon for mine - maybe EBay?
I love how Avery operated under the fact that her bsf and ex-bf were jerks to her. I’ve had a very similar experience - almost felt like a camera was on me while reading this. But I loved how Avery didn’t overplay the fact that she was having a hard time. I know that sounds bad but most books now focus on a trauma and really soak in it while Avery struggled internally with it like most teenage girls do but still live life.
The hurt that she felt from a family member and feeing compared was also well done.

So cheesy, but such a good, fun, quick read. Can never go wrong with a Kasie West, even many years later.
Not my favorite of hers. A good-enough summer story. I read it pretty quickly.

2.5 maybe? For what I read
Look this really was getting me out of a slump in the beginning and I was listening to ALL the dirty dancing songs. But after awhile it got boring and idk why and I just lost interest. I’m sorry Kasie :(

It was very good once I got into it but I feel like I was just waiting for something to happen the whole time. It is good if you want a chill read with not too much going on

Kasie West just went and killed me with her writing, yet again! This book is definitely in the top three of my favorite books by Kasie West.
This book was so effing cute. I loved Avery- her conflicts, growth, personality, and humor. I found myself really relating to Avery and really loved reading from her POV. Brooks was a great male protagonist as well! The family summer camp was such a great setting. It was a fun escape for a few hours while I was sitting at home, in snowy December, in month 9 of a pandemic.
I loved the imperfect family and friendship dynamics in this book and like that some things were left open-ended. It helps a story feel more realistic when not everything is tied up neatly and I like that Kasie West chose to leave room for more growth and development, even if it does only take place in our heads instead of on paper.
This was the perfect read for me today. It's super cute, very relatable, and has a well-rounded storyline. I can't wait to buy myself a copy!

It was a fun little read. It's generally why I like most, if not all, of Kasie's books.
I've lost most of the details on this one, so I can't really comment beyond that. My fault for waiting too long to add my latest reads.
Would I read again? Maybe?

Another wonderful Kasie West book!
I loved this little camp escape. It really sparked some Dirty Dancing nostalgia. Avery was a very enjoyable narrator to hang out with, and the romance between her and Brooks was THE SWEETEST. Their banter had me smiling as I read, and then circling back to reread lines so I could smile over them all over again.
Honestly, I have not yet been let down by one of West’s books. They are always just what I need.
